Baby led weaning

We're officially starting BLW this week:) I've given my LO some fruit, pretzels, and a couple veggies before. Today we tried breakfast sausage for the first time (he LOVED it). I really don't know what I'm doing though... any advice/tips/resources you guys have?!

How much does your little one drink per feed🤍

Baby bottle nipple size

Did you know when it was time to change nipple sizes for your LO? My LO gets fussy when she’s eating sometimes and we can’t figure out why. It’s like she forgets she’s eating or gets frustrated.

Loss of appetite at 12 weeks?

Our boy has always been a big eater and a big baby and has been asking for up to 180ml every 3 hours since about 10 weeks - may sound excessive but we were given the green light because his weight was tracking well! For the past week or so, he seems to not finish his bottle at all and sometimes will only take 50-80m...
